To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the Georgia Certificate of Title. You and the seller must fill out the assignment section completely. Once you have the assigned title, take it to the Tattnall County Tax Commissioner's Office in Reidsville. You will also need a completed Form MV-1 (Title/Tag Application), your valid Georgia driver's license, and proof of active auto insurance.
When you title and register the car at the Tattnall County Tag Office, you must pay an $18 title fee, a $20 license plate fee, and the Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT). The state calculates the TAVT based on the established fair market value of the vehicle, not your actual purchase price.
In Georgia, the license plate stays with the seller. Plates are registered to the individual, not the vehicle. The seller must remove their plate and cancel their registration before you take possession of the car. Never drive the car with the seller's plates on it.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in Tattnall County include:
1. The public parking area of the Tattnall County Sheriff's Office in Reidsville.
2. A busy shopping area, such as a grocery store parking lot in Glennville or Reidsville, during regular business hours.
3. A well-lit, active gas station along Highway 301 or Highway 280.
For a comprehensive overview of the car's past, get a vehicle history report from a trusted service like KarKiosk. This step is vital for uncovering accident history, flood damage, or a potential salvage or rebuilt title, all of which heavily impact the car's value and safety.
No. The person whose name appears on the title as the owner must be the one to sign it and present their photo ID. If the title lists two names separated by "AND," both owners must sign the title. Dealing directly with the legal owner prevents fraud and ensures a valid transfer.
